Featured Project
The Granary Building Restoration
The Granary Building restoration was a development concept put forth by a group of concerned citizens who were reacting to plans to demolish the building to make way for a new waterfront redevelopment of a century old industrial site. The building was a chicken and egg cooperative built in 1929 and had been abandoned for decades. To many it was an eyesore, but with colorful and informative concept illustrations like this the community rallied to save the historic building. It proudly stands as the first completed project by Harcourt Development in a massive mixed use downtown waterfront development district.
